Welcome to another trip in the French part of Switzerland, accompanying the S3 as it makes its way along the lake of Geneva (lac Lman. After Lausanne there are some spectacular views as we make our way along the lake. On our recent trip from Geneva to Bern, we also saw the views of this lake from the parallel line on it's climb towards Palzieux. At one stage, a viaduct of the line can be seen to the left (34: 30. If we were to continue along this line, we would eventually reach Brig, which will be the subject of a future video. Next to the station names, Ive included altitude in meters. The maximum allowable speeds are also shown on the bottom right of the screen as they come into effect. On a number of occasions where the speed is limited due to signalling, the signal colours are shown at the top right of the screen. This is to help viewers make sense of the different colour combinations. As we pass junctions, I have included purple comments on available videos in the respective directions. These videos are (or will be) linked below for your convenience. I have included all gradients I was able to make out for those who are interested. They are shown in the top right corner with a promille value (1/10%, as they are displayed to drivers. To support the channel, make sure to like and subscribe.

This was a great trip. I was especially pleased that the train stopped at Burier which was 'my' station to and from Lausanne for a number of years. At that time the station building had beautiful, wood framed 'French doors' into the waiting room accessed from the station platform. These doors appear to have been removed unfortunately. The chef de gare at the time had quite a number of oleander plants ('laurier rose') in large tubs with which he would decorate the platform from spring to autumn. In the winter, the tubs were given shelter in the waiting room! I don't see any flowers on the platform now. It was also great to see the low mountain scenery behind Montreux where I have done many, many walking excursions. I highly recommend a trip on the MOB-Montreux-Oberland Bernois railway from Montreux for anyone visiting Switzerland (you can see the MOB terminus to the left of the screen when this train stops at Montreux. You don't have to take the expensive Golden Pass options: you can take an all stops train and get off and on where you like, walking between stations and getting on the train again to continue or simply return to Montreux. Take a good map, compass, boots/sturdy shoes, warm jacket and some food and water. Remember that at some stations you may have to ring a bell on the platform to ensure that the train stops for you. Thank you lorirocks for this lovely trip!

Love your videos! Brings me to a part of the world that I will never be able to be in person. I would like to see Europe. especially Switzerland, France, and Italy try to tackle the severe graffiti problem. It makes me sad to see buildings, rocks and walls defaced. In Loveland Colorado where I live the city came up with a great idea where walls, electrical transformers, and other graffiti targets were turned into works of art with everything from abstract to people and animal scenes. A contest was set up with rewards. The graffiti problem disappeared with the new artwork adding color and character, rather than symbols of territorial gangs and vandalism.

It brings back memories. I had relatives living in this area (Lausanne, Vevey, Montreux, les vignes de Lavaud. I know these places since i was a kid. Now they passed away, so it gives nostalgia.

35: 15 why no stop here? There is a station how its not possible for a stopper service. But its a good driving with ETCS signalling, and its sad these signals are gone.
